Is it possible to block an area code on Android 12?
Is it possible to block an area code on Android 12.
After having a look at loads of posts on Google it appears is it possible in the USA but I cannot find the option on my mobile.
I had a call from someone saying they were from EDF and needed my meter reading. (I always provide it after an email request)
I found the number on a scam website and many people had also had a call from the same number, I blocked the number but would like to block the area code.

No. Mobiles don't have area codes as they do in the States

I should have made it clearer, the call was from a UK Landline.0

I have used the "Should I answer" app on my Android phone for years (Was Android 12, now Android 13).I have had a look on their websiteThere is a section (Range (mask) blocking) that says it is possible to do what you want.Hope that helps.
